Shopping Cart in "Awaiting Approval" Status

Hi All,
There is a SC which requires an approval from one approver. The SC has gone to Approvers inbox for approval. The approver has approved the SC. After this the SC is not getting approved and its hanging in Awaiting Approval Status.
We are using N-Step BADI
When I was checking on this I was seeing entries in SM58 as below.
Caller       Function Module                Target System                    Date       Time     Status Text
XXXXXXXXX SWF_RUN_REMOTE_SERVICE         WORKFLOW_LOCAL_100               03/04/2011 06:34:01 Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)
XXXXXXXXXX SALRT_CONFIRM                  WSCAH003SAP01_SR1_62             03/04/2011 06:34:01 Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)
your valuable suggestions are very helpful.
Regards,
Satya.

Hi,
Thats strange because the error 'Name or password is incorrect' usually occurs when RFC destination is not appropriate.
Some quick checks
1. Automatic workflow customisation (SWU3) done? All green?
2. Remote logon working?

  • Settings to recall shopping cart when awaiting approval

    Hello
    We are on SRM 7.0.
    In SRM 7.0 when SC is in awaiting approval and requestor press edit then shopping cart can be recalled. What are the settings / sap note required for this.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    Hi
    Are you a creator of shopping cart and trying to edit the cart while awaiting for approval ?
    or
    some once created and are you trying to edit the cart in awaiting for approval?
    what is your SP ?
    Note 1491389 - Monitor SC:delete shopping carts in status awaiting approval
    You as an administrator go to Monitor shopping cart transaction and select a shopping cart which has status 'Awaiting approval'. When you try to 'Delete' the cart, system throws an error 'Change mode only possible after recall'
    Other terms
    CANCEL_PROCESS_FOR_RESTART /SAPSRM/IF_CLL_MMS_SC~DELETE BBP_MON_SC 'Process controlled workflow'
    Reason and Prerequisites
    If the system is using process controlled workflow, the workflow has to be recalled prior to the deletion of the cart.

  • How do we identify SC that are stuck in awaiting approval status?

    All,
    Extended Classic Scenario   7.01
    We have Shopping Carts set up for auto approval.    From time to time some Shopping Carts get stuck in awaiting approval status and we need to manually force them to go.   We have not been able to identify a root cause for this so we would like to create an abap that would identify those SCs that are stuck then submit   BBP_REQREQ_TRANSFER   to transfer those SCs.
    The problem we are having is finding the correct combination of status's that will capture those SCs that are truly awaiting approval. 
    We first find all those SC with status = I1015 (awaiting approval)
    Then we exclude  those with status i1040 (deleted)  and i1129 (followon document created)
    It seems in our testing that sometimes the status i1129 has an "X" in the inactive column.   Should those then be reprocessed and therefore not excluded? 
    Thoughts...
    Sandra

    Hi Sandra,
    For your code logic, I1129 with inactive X should be included to get the list of SC which are in awaiting approval or may be approved but without follow on doc.
    But could you check if you get any message in RZ20 after the follow on doc is created and it becomes inactive ?
    may be you can check the SAP note: 1499352 - SRM Transfer: Redesign, bug fixes
    Best Regards,
    Anil

  • SRM 5.0 Confirmation in Awaiting Approval Status

    We have the confirmations in "Awaiting Approval" status.
    I had checked the following steps but still the status remains as-is.
    1. Transaction SWUD
    2. Enter workflow WS10400010, press enter
    3. Execute 'Test environment'
    4. Check 'Including subworkflows'
    5. Execute 'Consistency check for components'
    There are no errors for BUS2203 (Confirmation business object).
    I have cross checked the BUS2203 for WS10400010 Active Status is both T-Codes SWETYPV and SWE2.
    We had a previous issue of BUS2203 with some errors and that went away after following steps in OSS Note and SDN comments. Note 962488 - "Workflow definition '&' not in version '&' (WD 401) and SDN.
    WS10400010 is No Approval Workflow for confirmations that is active and classified as General Task.
    Can you please advise on this status issue?

    Please analyse the Workflow log from SWI2_FREQ. I think you can check this issue in SRM forum. I think this is discussed.
    Thanks

  • Buyer change the PO line items and end up with Awaiting Approval status.

    Can you please help to look into this issue.
    1.Buyer change the PO line items and end up with Awaiting Approval status.
    2. But user claim that she got enough limit and should not route to her manager's approval. Also check with her manager and this PO do not exist his queue.
    Any clue or tips on how to investigate on this issue. All your tips are appreciated,
    -Rick

    You cannot change these POs because their changed version has status
    'Deleted'. My proposal to fix them will be the following:
    You will have to set changed version as closed(DOC_CLOSED set to X)
    and in active version set DOC_CLOSED to space.
    __-For the above statement, Can you guys please let me know, which table DOC_CLOSED belongs to and what are the steps to do this, as i come from a functional back ground.__

    Now what should i do to complete the workflow. Is there any transaction or function module or any table with which i can complete the workflow??
    Thanks in advance,
    Sarnava.

    Hi Sarnava,
    Is your PO waiting for approval or is it struck in awaiting approval status.
    Check SM58 transaction to see if there is any failures on the day of PO creation.
    If there is no failure and you want to complete the PO manually go to transaction SWIA and enter the header work item id and then click on complete manually. This will complete the workflow.

  • Bidding Engine - Bids waiting in "Awaiting approval" status

    Hello SRM Gurus,
    We have SRM 5.0 bidding engine implemented. We have been using bid invitation for about 6 months now. For the last couple weeks we are having an issue where the bid invitations is stuck in "Awaiting Approval" status. We are not using any approval process.
    I would appreicate it if any one could help me with resolving this issues.
    Thank you very much

    Thank you for your response.
    No, the problem is that we are not able to even able to publish the Bid Invitation. Our buyers are creating the Bid invitation and put it in hold for adding additional information at a later time. When they come back to publish it - it says bid invitation is already in approval process and does not allow them to publish it.
    Hope this info helps, Let me know if you need additional information.

  • Awaiting approval status

    Hi All,
    Can we find the list of SC's which are in awaiting approval for a particular company code and product category. I know we can find it based on the purchasing org and purchasing group(based on a company code) from monitor shopping cart transaction but it is not retrieving the correct results.
    Is there any table or report or FM to find this.
    I have looked into reports BBP_BW_SC(1,2,etc) but these are not helpful.

    Hi,
    go to T.code: BBP_BW_SC2 here you can check the status of the shopping cart.
    There is no other report available in Std SRM.
    Take the  program BBP_BW_SC2 and modify.
    This is the best solution .We have done modifications in this report
    Regards

  • Awaiting approval status when SC approved

    Hi Guys,
    We are working on SRM 4.0 in classic scenario. We have a weird situation where the shopping cart has been completely approved but the status is still in "awaiting approval". We are using teh item based approval badi.
    Does anybody have an insight to why this is happening. We never had this issue in the QA box in the past. The problem suddenly shows up.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Sundeep

    Not to be suspicious, but did your BC team recently upgraded your SRM Server with new service pack? If you are on SAPKIBKS09 your problem is implementation of note 842969 which is included in that service pack.
    I had similar problem where shopping carts were stuck in awaiting approval when they were partially rejected.
    We solve problem with implementing Note 930750 RESTART: No restart anymore with classic workflows.

  • Purchase order in 'awaiting approval' status but no approval required

    Hi
    I am using SRM 4.0 SP 13. There is a purchase order which shows that no approval is required in the approval tab, but the overall status is 'awaiting approval'. Please can you advise if this is a Support pack issue? I have checked the workflow WS14000075 which is active.
    Regards
    Rajeev

    Hi
    You would need to check if the workflow has been able to release the PO properly. Only after successful release completion by workflow, PO status gets changed to ordered from awaiting approval. Check the workflow log to see if there are any errors. Use txn-SWI1 or SWI6 to go into workflow log. Also reactive your workflow WS14000075 using txn swdd and try creating new PO.

  • Shopping Cart change by approver is not updating in approval preview screen

    We are using SRM 4.0 in ECS and have been noticing a problem with the approval preview on the shopping cart when the shopping cart is changed or rejected by one of the added approvers.
    The shopping cart was created with multiple line items for materials and when the shopping cart was ordered it workflowed to the 1st approver that was added.  He noticed that a price was wrong on one of the line items of the shopping and proceeded to change it and then approved the SC.  The approval preview screen in the SC shows that it was approved but the preview does not show that it was forwarded to the next approver listed on the preview screen.  However checking in the backend I'm showing the SC sitting in the inbox of the next approver stating: Your shopping cart 'MD D&C LL1 dvf Vetco-Subsea Wellhead Eq' was changed/rejected in part. Please check.
    Why isn't the approval preview updating when the SC is rejected or changed?

    hi,
    This  behaviour of the system is as follows , when the first approvers makes the changes and then approves the cart , it will go to the requestor of the shopping cart , and wether the workflow should restart --->
    depends on the security level of the approver who is changing the cart -->
    you can find the security level of the approver --> in the transaction SU01 ---> persononalization tab ---> key bbp_wfl_security
    and the text you have mentioned --->
    Your shopping cart 'MD D&C LL1 dvf Vetco-Subsea Wellhead Eq' was changed/rejected in part
    this is for the requestor of the cart ---> this is mail which specifies that the first approver has partially approved the cart.
